Plummer,o of Dakota, who made an anus
ing and energetic speech. He said that
last election some Republicans thought
they would have change. They had
got the change, but it was like changing
from old cheese to limberger. Loud
laughter.l Democracy, he said, was the
party of Great Britain in this country.
The message recently Illuminated by the
president was popular in Leeds, Man
chester and the manufacturing towns of
Great Britain, but was unpopular in
every American town. The formal
papers presenting the claims of Chi
cagO, Minneapolis and Omaha were sub
mitted; it was then moved that the COM
mittee proceed to an informal ballot.
An amendment was offered that the vote
be viva vOce instead of by ballot. The
amendment was adopted, 80 to Il. and
the committee was then proceeding to
take the first vote informally, as to the
location of the next Republican cOnven-
tiOn-Such informal vote to be followed

Chicago, IL; Omaha, 10; Cincinnati, s;
Minneapolis, 6; Philadelphia, 9; st.
Louis, =; Washington, l. The commit
tee then proceeded to vote formally by
ballot, each state or territorial repre-
sentative stepping up to the chairman'S
table as the state or territory was called
and depOSiting his vote in a hat. The
ballots thus deposited were counted by
the two teflers Haynes, of Maine. and
COnger, of Ohio, and the result was
afterwards announced as follows:

ton of Mr.. MOrrey, of Louisiana, the
choice of Chicago as the place of holding
the next convention was declared unan-
imouS. On motion of Mr.. Rollins, of
New Hampshire, the time for the meet
ing was fixed for Tuesday, The 18th of
June, 1888. a resolution was then
offered and adopted for the appoint
ment of a committee of seven with
power to take control of the build
ing for the convention, and to make
all necessary arrangements for holding
the convention. The chairman stated
that lie would select the committee and
announce it subsequently. Gov. Mel
lette, of Dakota, offered a resolution,
allowing the territory of Dakota six del
egates at large in the Republican ma
tiOnal convention, and made a speech
III support of it. Opposition was made
by several members on the ground that
the committee had no Jurisdiction in
the matter. Mr.. Van Horn, of Missouri,
opposed it Oh the ground that Dakota
was only entitled, like all territories, to
two delegates. 1t was bad policy, he
said, to thrust the veXed question of the
division of Dakota on the next national
convention. An amendment was offered
by Mr.. Carey. the delegate from WyOm-
ing, to allow the territories of Dakota
and Washington 10 elect four cOntin-
gent delegates, in addition to the two
regular delegates, whose admission
would be decided by the convention.
The East, he said, could
AFFORD TO BE GENEROUS
to the people OF these territories. Da-
kota was not only entitled to full repre-
sentation in the national convention, but
was entitled to full representation in
the councils of the nation. Mr.. Van
Horn, of Missouri, argued that the COM
mittee was mere ministerial body and
had no more right to increase the dele
CATION from a territory than from
state. The amendment was agreed to,
and then the resolution as amended was
adopted. A motion was adopted provid-
ing for the election of delegates from
the District of Columbia in cOnven-
ton called by the central committee of
the district. Mr.. Littler, of Illinois,
moved that the chairman and secretary
of the committee be instructed to pre-
pare and publish call for the national
convention. Agreed to. Mr.. Littler
also thanked the committee for having
selected Chicago as the place for holding
